i don’t recall another pass on the pit straight but JB having DRS deployed there played a big role in the pressure he applied to seb entering the last lap…as for Valencia it’s more than likely going to be where you have indicated…probably detected just after turn 10 and activated at turn 11…and reactivated from the exit of 14 to the end of sector 2

I thought the double DRS zone for Canada was stupid, as overtaking has never really been a problem there. Obviously, it didn’t really figure much in the race in the end

However, I’m not so opposed to it for Valencia, saying as overtaking is usually pretty difficult there. But, it will be interesting to see if double DRS zones are the norm for future races. If so, I wonder if they will they be situated on consecutive straights, as in Canada and Valencia? Eg, on the national straight and the former pit straight at Silverstone?

“The problem with one detection zone is the larger activaition zone tends to be first, that stupid situation where the faster car has already passed, then gets that lead away activaition. So stupid.

I’d like to see two DRS zones on completley different part of a track, like Spain for instance.”

That’s the point thought, so we don’t have pass and then repass which would be quite frankly ridiculous, the 2nd zone gives the passing car a chance to pull out of the 1sec zone and on towards the next car up the track!

They introduced double DRS at Canada and will again at Valencia. I’m sure they’d agree with what Ned’s saying about two DRS zones in completely diffeent ends of the track, but will they have the technology by then? We’ll see.

DRS is just another device that helps the top teams. When by some reason a non-Mclaren-Ferrari-RedBull whether by strategy, skill or luck, manages to be in the front it just means he won’t be able to keep the place, despite his defensive driving skills. And no, it’s not the same for everybody. The non-top teams don’t have the ability to go to the 1 sec. stupid zone; it’s enough they have the aerodynamics, the money to buy the most skilled engineers, technicians, etc, they also had to steal us the factor of surprise too? At the beggining of the season DRS was just frosty or indiferent to me, as it wasn’t offering positions. then since Malaysia dislike started to grow. Now, with Montreal, it’s just disgusting. And I’m quite appalled, disapointed or at least surprised to see public opinion doesn’t share with me at least some dislike.

Wet weather racing died, so did defensive driving. The likes of Michael Schumacher and Gilles Villeneuve would be just good drivers if they drove today, instead of legends.. Is that what we really want?
